Question

Write the equation of this line in Point-Slope Form.​

Answer 1

Answer:

y -3 = (-1/2)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line:  Notice that if we go from 7 to 5, the 'run' is -2 and the corresponding 'rise' from 2 to 3 is 1.  Thus, the slope is m = -1/2.

Using m = -1/2 and the point (5, 3), we write the equation of this line in point-slope form as:

y -3 = (-1/2)(x - 5)
